Steve's 2nd Article/Manuscript Template

Description

Another template for academic articles/manuscripts. For more information, see here: http://svmiller.com/blog/2020/09/another-rmarkdown-article-template/. Please note that xelatex is functionally required for this template/function.

Usage

article2(...)

templ_article2()

Arguments

...	Arguments to rmarkdown::pdf_document.

Details

If your version of TeX comes by way of Yihui Xie's tinytex, you'll want to additionally install the "xurl" library. Otherwise, you'll get a vague error about a missing LaTeX dependency. tinytex::tlmgr_install("xurl") should suffice. I thank Ian Adams and Cornelius Hennch for finding this issue and pointing to this solution.

About YAML header fields

This section documents some of the YAML fields to know for this template. Much should've been carried over from my first article/manuscript template. Please yell at me/raise an issue on the Github repo if I didn't.

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
name	name of the author
affiliation	the affiliation of the author
thanks	A place to thank people for their input, identify corresponding author, etc.
abstract	include an abstract of the paper here
keywords	some keywords for the manuscript
anonymous	logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, scrubs all identifying author info for peer review
removetitleabstract	logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes title/abstract for peer review (if you'd like)
appendix	optional, but specifies appendix figure/table prefices
endnotes	logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, makes R Markdown footnotes as endnotes
pandocparas	logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, keeps Pandoc's default paragraph format
sansitup	logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, better mimics ACM's use of sans fonts for section headers
mainfont	optional (I think?), but it's the main font to use with xelatex. I use cochineal here.
sansfont	optional, only necessary if sansitup: TRUE. Specifies sans font. I recommend Linux Biolinum
doublespacing	optional, if anything is here to process, this will double-space the document.
